Send us a textEver left a party without goodbyes and felt oddly right about it? That's our jump‑off point for a fast, funny, and candid ride from a midnight move out of Charleston to a new life in Harrisonburg—where a sore back, a pool streak, and a golf addiction spark a deeper look at how we chase joy and manage wear and tear. We talk about the quiet power of leaving at the right time, then get honest about aging, fitness, and the tradeoffs we make when passion runs hot.From there, the conversation widens to sports culture and the gravity of star power. The PNC Championship felt lighter without Tiger and Charlie, and it raises a tough truth: icons change the temperature of a game. That same force ripples through college sports as NIL and the transfer portal reshape loyalty. We break down how revenue sharing made long‑overdue corrections but eroded season‑long narratives, and we pitch a fix that preserves mobility while restoring meaning—move the portal window until after the national titles so coaches coach, players finish, and fans get closure.Golf's civil war takes center stage next. LIV's shotgun chaos and giant purses versus the PGA's tradition and tension—what did money fix, and what did it flatten? We sketch a realistic path for big names to return: fines, a delayed runway, and limited access to premium events at first. Not out of nostalgia, but because stars lift the ceiling for everyone—attendance, ratings, and the feeling that anything can happen on 18.We close with a sharp watch pick: Plurribus on Apple TV, Vince Gilligan's mind‑bending series anchored by Rhea Seehorn. It's a reminder that the best stories—on a course, a stage, or a screen—bind us together. Hit play, then tell us: which rule would you change first—portal timing, LIV returns, or something we missed?

He is 45 years old from Harrisburg, VA and took his last drink on January 24th, 2023.   This episode is brought to you by:   Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – the social app for sober people   Get your 2026 started off poison free and join us for our Dry January course Restore at 8pm eastern time on January 1st.

He would love to have you on the launch team. Email info@recoveryelevator.com to join.   [01:59] Thoughts from Paul:   When asked what recovery has made possible, today's guest Nathan responded with the one word "everything" almost before Paul could finish the question.   The sobriety space, especially the 12-step world, is full of cheesy recovery slogan, but Paul shares one that he laughed at when he first heard it. The saying is, you're giving up one thing for everything. And that one thing is alcohol.   If you ride a drinking problem long enough, it will take everything from your life. But when you quit, nearly everything that was taken will be returned. Not all in one day of course, but a life without alcohol will give you everything. More money, more sunsets, more time with aging parents, more memories, a better outlook on life and more growth.   [05:56] Paul introduces Nathan:   Nathan lives in Harrisonburg, VA where he works in the philanthropy space in higher education.  He and his wife have two children, 11 and 14 years old. For fun, he enjoys spending time with his family and out in nature.   In high school, Nathan was very active in a variety of high school activities. Having a reputation to maintain, Nathan kept his drinking private. Nathan went on to college and says it was the typical experience with the exception of losing a friend to a drunk driving incident in which he feels partially responsible for.   While he used alcohol to cope with the pain of the loss, he also used the loss to propel him into trying to make changes in programs at school and how he approached is own drinking. Nathan still did much of his drinking in private because he knew he couldn't drink how he wanted to in public.   Over the years, Nathan didn't think he had a problem, but he was hiding the quantity he drank from everyone. Once COVID came, the isolation, the unknowns, and the loss of multiple family members found Nathan's consumption changing a bit. He began to realize the behavior wasn't normal but believed it was a moral failing, or lack of discipline rather than the alcohol being the source of the problem.   At 41, Nathan began to use health related goals as motivation to moderate. He didn't drink daily, but when he drank it was with the intention to get drunk. After finding himself in handcuffs with his car in the ditch, he wanted nothing more than to just "fix it". It was at this time when his wife approached him and said it was time for him to go to AA.   Nathan didn't identify as an alcoholic and was initially resistant, but a voice in his head said he had no excuse not to go. Getting some great advice at the first meeting that really resonated with him, Nathan left with the Big Book and went on to attend 90 meetings in 90 days.   The first three months were all about survival for Nathan. After his legal troubles ended he had a shift from "I have to do this" to "I want to do this". Recognizing that he could use his recovery to help others, he and some friends are trying to reach the younger demographic in his area. Service has become very important, and Nathan is now a sponsor for others in the AA space.   Nathan's parting piece of guidance: You're never going to wake up in the morning and regret not drinking the night before.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up. We can do this. I love you guys.   RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube

What if the most important decision you ever made was trusting someone who saw your potential before you fully saw it yourself? In this episode, Morgan Nichols, CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners and financial advisor, shares her journey from a 25-year-old in corporate finance loading up a U-Haul and driving cross-country to lead a financial advisory practice in Texas. As the first born of two financial advisors, Morgan was "destined" for this work, but it was her father-in-law Gary's belief in her potential that gave her the springboard to build a multi-state practice with offices in three states and serve four generations of the same family. From working in a male-dominated sales environment where she was the youngest person on the desk to becoming CEO and co-authoring "Intentional Legacy" with partner Kelly Base, Morgan's story reveals the power of relationships that see who you can become. Through fertility challenges overcome with the help of two incredible doctors, she now wakes up every morning with her three-year-old daughter as her "why," a constant reminder that we get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional and impactful as possible. Morgan shares why achievement without purpose left her asking "why do we work so hard?", how opposite strengths with the right partner create relationship gold, and why showing up with gratitude and goodness puts us on the right foot to make million-dollar impacts we might never even see coming.   [00:05:20] What Morgan Does: Financial Advisor with a Different Approach Financial advisor and CEO of Life Branch Wealth Partners Careful to define "financial advisor" - not just transactional relationships Works with clients covering all areas of financial lives Serves individuals, families with larger portfolios, and small business owners Helps clients navigate financial peace of mind [00:06:32] Leading a Multi-State Practice: Growth-Minded Excellence CEO of practice with offices in three states: Grapevine, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area) Harrisonburg, Virginia Chicagoland area, Illinois Loves learning about industry changes and simplifying for clients Leads a team, trains younger advisors Works with well-seasoned advisors, sharing perspectives Building a team focused on making a difference in the lives of others [00:07:45] Destined for This Work: The Apple Didn't Fall Far First born of two financial advisors After college, took a job in Boston in wholesaling, corporate finance Enjoyed opportunities and learning ground Recognized that for some people, personal finance makes their eyes glaze over; they just want to delegate it [00:09:18] Most Impactful Result: Four Generations of One Family Works with four generations of one family Started with one generation in the middle: husband and wife in their 30s trying to raise children and manage life Over time, ended up working with the parents and grandparents Heartwarming to know the whole family line is seeing the benefit of planning [00:12:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Gary's Leap of Faith Father-in-law Gary is the advisor who gave her the career opportunity At 25, working in corporate finance in Boston, thought she was doing pretty good Had opportunity to leave Boston, load up U-Haul, drive across country Without that opportunity, she wouldn't have ability to springboard the way she is today Achievement is one of her core values, and this relationship helped her grow her career [00:16:34] Finding Relationship Gold: Kelly Base and Opposite Strengths Kelly Base is an advisor on her team Co-authored book "Intentional Legacy" together over the past year Met in 2023 through a women's entrepreneurial group Having more fun in their career than they ever could have imagined "We have to find people that compliment our strengths and can also speak truth in our lives so we can become the sharpest versions of ourselves and sharpen one another" [00:19:20] The Million-Dollar Question: Why Do We Work So Hard? Very driven, wired a certain way Can work all day, come home, be fulfilled in career When she really dove into her values, realized family really matters Area families don't always talk about: challenges with fertility, having a family Felt sharing her story was important so others can feel comfortable sharing theirs [00:20:00] The Gift of Life: Two Doctors and a Miracle Had two doctors in her life who navigated the challenge with her Journey from "we don't think you're gonna be able to have children" to having a beautiful daughter In the spirit of intention, being achievement-minded and a mom "I've got my work baby and my baby baby, and I'm always juggling their priorities" Doctors gave her the shot to pour into the next generation [00:22:20] Faith and Gratitude: The Foundation of Everything Faith is very important to her and aligns with her values Has achievement as a value Leans into her faith as she does her work and lives her personal life Hopes to continue making an impact in lives of others, personally and professionally [00:24:00] Giving Back: Grace and Growing Generosity Giving back in community is really important Supports Grace, a local charitable organization helping the underserved who need help As a business, able to support their endeavors and help those who need it most Giving back is ingrained in core values Wouldn't have a business if it weren't for relationship with Gary, or it wouldn't look the way it does today [00:30:17] Mentorship Matters: Female Advisors Pouring In Started career in sales environment that was probably 10% female Was the youngest person on the sales desk in downtown Boston Now advocates for young women starting in finance: "Go find mentors. You're not too young, don't hesitate. This is a great career and you can get so much out of those relationships" "You never even know where all of them are gonna lead, but they make such an impact" [00:32:05] Where to Find Morgan & The Intentional Legacy Website for book: intentionallegacybook.com Feedback: "This is something I wish I would've read 20, 30 years ago. I really want my children to read it" Personal website: lifebranchwealth.com Always glad to have a conversation with anyone   KEY QUOTES "We get one shot at this life, so we might as well make it as intentional, as and impactful as possible." - Morgan Nichols "I can't put a price tag on that...

As December arrives in the Shenandoah Valley, most residents brace for winter's first flakes with equal parts nostalgia and dread. Yet for Ken Slack, communications specialist for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the "S-word" signals something far more serious: the start of long days, sleepless nights, and the full activation of a year-round effort to keep the region moving safely. During this year's annual "Snow Show" on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Ken to uncover what really happens behind the scenes before, during, and after winter storms. The conversation reveals a complex system of planning, people, equipment, and science—all working together to protect the Shenandoah Valley's roads. A Year-Round Operation: Preparing for Winter in July Although most Virginians don't think about snow until the weather turns cold, VDOT never stops planning for winter. Ken explains that salt acquisition, equipment preparation, and contractor coordination happen "pretty much year-round." Because Mid-Atlantic states often pull from the same salt suppliers, VDOT begins stockpiling materials months in advance. By early summer, the agency starts contracting plow operators and supplemental crews—critical partners, since VDOT alone cannot cover the 11-county region with 150 miles of Interstate 81 in the Staunton District. For many contractors, winter work fills seasonal employment gaps, making it a mutually beneficial relationship. As fall approaches, VDOT conducts "dry runs," where plows, spreaders, dump trucks, graders, and even the occasional snowblower undergo rigorous inspection. Mechanics check everything from hydraulics to electronic components to the flashing safety lights. New operators also drive their designated routes with seasoned staff to learn every cul-de-sac, mailbox, driveway, and hazard before the first storm arrives. More Than Machines: The Human Infrastructure VDOT's winter workforce extends far beyond plow drivers. The agency maintains equipment repair shops in multiple locations—including Staunton, Winchester, Harrisonburg, and Alleghany County—staffed with specialists who not only service vehicles in the shop but often crawl under trucks on the roadside during storms. The agency also relies on dozens of employees whose regular jobs have nothing to do with snow removal. During weather events, environmental staff, surveyors, office workers, and administrative teams might be reassigned to phone operations, storm reporting, or road-condition updates that feed directly into the statewide 511 Virginia system. As Ken puts it, "VDOT is an all-hands-on-deck operation whenever it snows." Forecasting the Fight: Science Meets Local Knowledge Weather drives nearly every decision VDOT makes during a storm. To stay ahead, the agency collaborates closely with two National Weather Service offices—Sterling for the northern Shenandoah Valley and Blacksburg for the southern region—while also relying on a private forecasting consultant. However, the most valuable insights often come from the ground. Supervisors stationed throughout the district contribute hyperlocal knowledge about cold pockets, shaded roadways, tricky curves, and elevations where conditions can change dramatically within a few miles. This matters in a district that stretches from Page County's valleys to Highland County's rugged ridges, nicknamed "Virginia's Switzerland" for its long, snowy seasons. Understanding Treatments: Brine, Salt, and Abrasives One of the most common misconceptions among drivers involves road treatments—particularly when VDOT chooses not to pre-treat ahead of a storm. Ken clarifies that brine (a saltwater solution) only works when applied well in advance of snowfall. If a storm begins with rain, the liquid simply washes away. That's why VDOT carefully times its anti-icing operations 24 to 36 hours before precipitation arrives. Salt remains the standard treatment, but once temperatures drop into the low 20s or teens, its effectiveness weakens. That's when the agency may incorporate abrasives—fine, gritty particles smaller than pea gravel—to help vehicles gain traction. In extreme cold, VDOT may also use calcium chloride, a more potent but costlier option reserved for the harshest conditions. And yes—VDOT mixes its own brine in giant onsite tanks equipped with agitators. The Interstates Come First: Prioritizing What Matters Most When snow starts falling, VDOT's first priority is always the interstates and major primary roads that support hospitals, fire and rescue, commercial trucking, and essential travel. During heavy storms, plow operators may spend the entire event clearing a single 30-mile stretch of Interstate 81, circling back and forth until snowfall eases. Only once the major routes are reasonably clear can operators move to secondary roads and neighborhoods. Why Staying Home Makes a Difference Both Janet and Ken stress one message above all: staying off the roads during storms dramatically improves safety—and speeds up VDOT's work. "It's a lot easier to plow a road that doesn't have any vehicles on it," Ken explains. Fewer cars mean fewer accidents, fewer stuck vehicles blocking lanes, and fewer obstacles for plow drivers navigating low visibility and icy conditions. For those who must drive—retail workers, health-care employees, and service professionals—Ken offers clear advice: leave early, drive slowly, avoid sudden movements, and give yourself far more stopping distance than usual. And when in doubt, assume the road is icy—especially when freezing rain creates hazardous, nearly invisible "black ice." Tools for Drivers: 511 and Real-Time Road Temperature Data VDOT's 511 Virginia system provides far more than traffic cameras. Drivers can access pavement temperature readings, weather station data, alerts, and real-time incident reports—tools that help them decide when (or whether) to travel. Even VDOT staff use the traffic cameras to track approaching storms: "They'll watch the snow hit Mount Jackson, and they know it's coming next." A Final Word: Respect the Storm As the conversation ends, Ken offers one last reminder: preparation, patience, and caution remain the keys to a safer winter season. Whether you're a commuter, a weekend traveler, or just someone who loves snow days, VDOT's work depends on drivers doing their part. And if you need an excuse to stay home? Janet jokes that she'll be citing Ken personally.

Sleepytime Trio formed in 1995 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, originally as a side project of Maximillian Colby. Known for their volatile, emotional sound and chaotic live shows, they quickly became a defining force in the late 90s post-hardcore scene, sharing stages with bands like Hot Water Music, Frodus, and Shotmaker. After a hiatus in 1998, members went on to form acts like Engine Down, Rah Bras, and Milemarker before reuniting to tour again. Their definitive discography, remixed by J. Robbins and remastered by TJ Lipple, showcases all their studio recordings and captures the raw energy that made them legendary. In 2024, Solid Brass Records partnered with Sleepytime Trio and their longtime label, Lovitt Records, to work on a vinyl discography to memorialize this important band. The definitive Sleepytime Trio discography to date is packaged in a single pocket gatefold LP sleeve with complete lyrics. It also includes an 8-page zine/booklet featuring an extensive show list, behind-the-scenes notes, photos, and memories from friends of the band.
